I recall that it was May 1943 that Governor Gruening and Major M. R. Marston came to my village and organized the ATG. At that time the Japs were still infesting our Aleutian Islands and the time was ripe for such an organization. § also recall that on the same day the crnor advised that I apply for voting rights for the village I was then in. About an hour after the company was organized, Major Mar- ston crdered me to submit a map showing all the marked dogteam trails and shelter cabins in that area. This last order was a bit of a urprise since I would have expect- ed same request from the Alaska Road Commission “In} December, 1943, the ATG sent my ccmpany 60 guns and a large quantity of 30 caliber ammunition. This ammunition was to be used in case of an emergency and also for et eet practice. At that time the wol were killing the reindeer on our range by the score. I asked the ATG if w2 could use that “target” ammunition for predatory exterm- ination since our native store was running short of high-power ammu- nitien. The answer was “‘contrary to regulations”. “Shortly after the arrival of the rifles and ammunition I was ordered to measure the soldiers of my com- pany for shoepacs, parkas, shirts and blouses. T obeyed this order but told Major Marston that I thought this wes a waste of good public funds.
